I was unable to reproduce the error so I dunno...

Thanks for trying to replicate

Unfortunately I'm no good with code so have no idea how to figure this out myself.

I've spent hours searching through the forums & find nothing similar - since it only produces errors for either of these two settings I'm totally at a loss.

can anyone else duplicate this on a clean install

install SMF 1.1 RC3 - make no changes
install TinyPortal v0.9.5 (TP_095beta.zip)
restart forum
check error logs

I've now tried on 6 different servers/hosts and get the same errors everytime
11 errors produced everytime the home button is clicked

I have done this install about 30 times now, both test and live sites.
Done about 20+ upgrades from 1.1rc2 TP V.086 to 1.1rc3 and TP V.095, and still havent got that error ( all exept 4 installs on diffrent servers around the globe)

Ok its got to be all on my end then

I get similar errors in Sources/ManageServer.php
8: Uninitialized string offset: 1

If I ever find why it's happening I'll post here

What server setup do you have from your host ? DB version ?
There have been many strange errors the past month regarding newer versions of sql with more.
Can you check and see what set up your server have ?

Hey thanks for checking back - I don't think I qualify for the newer version errors:
Linux
Apache
MySql:    3.23.58
Php:    4.3.3 
Safe Mode:    On
Register Globals:    Off

I've switched to "Go directly to forum index" where I dont get any errors - at least this way I can get things setup & working & learn the options - shame though, I would have really liked the forum & articles on the homepage.

Edit
weird, system is showing safe mode on & php info is showing safe mode off - I'm not sure what it is now

Other servers are
Linux
Apache
MySql:    4.0.20a
Php:    4.3.11
Safe Mode:    Off
Register Globals:    Off

The error might jus be that you actually have Safemode set to on there.

Can you contact your host and aske them about this? And if you cant change the setings your self, ask them to help you change to safemode = off and see if you can have a working forum and portal ?

Just going to go try
do I have to restart apache after changing?
